The problematic loop is here:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/gnumach.git/tree/linux/src/drivers/scsi/gdth.c#n3107

The driver scans >600 PCI ports and each scan takes half a second or something.

Changing the TRACE() to printk on the following line shows that.

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/gnumach.git/tree/linux/src/drivers/scsi/gdth.c#n500

In gdth.h you can see that PCI_DEVICE_ID_VORTEX_GDTMAXRP is defined as 0x2ff, maybe that could be reduced to some more reasonable value?

Or are there really systems out there that have 768 PCI ports?
